Took my first Moderna shot a week ago.

To each his own.

As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, I am afraid our wonderful gubmint will use the vaccine as an excuse to exclude folks from certain activities.  No vaccine?  No admission to that concert or football game.  No vaccine?  Can't board a plane to fly anywhere.  Etc, etc, etc.

There was a very interesting show on History or National Geographic on the development of the vaccine by Pfized about a week ago. Many of the points that were brought up in this thread were refuted by what was in that show. All the Doctors that  were involved said that at the outset when they were tasked with the development of the vaccine they said it was impossible in the time allowed. But due to some innovative ideas and cooperation they were able to get a vaccine. One of the things they did to cut down on the time is the normal process is done in three consecutive steps whereas with this vaccine they did the three steps in parallel.
Necessity and funding breeds innovation.  I don't know about the funding part as related to the development of the COVID vaccines, but I imagine it's somewhere. 
I live and hunt by empirical evidence.

By the end of May, anyone that wants a shot will have a chance to get theirs.  In our county, we have 27% of the population with at least one shot.  IMO, by the end of April, everyone in the US will be bombarded with TV, radio and telephone calls BEGGING people to make their appointments for the vaccine.  With 3 manufacturers of the vaccine and the quantities being made, each of us will make a decision and live with that decision.  I'm ready to get over this and get RID of these ridiculous regulations and masks.

I received the Johnson/Johnson vaccine last week, one of easiest decision I ever had to make!

Also, remember for now the vaccine is at no cost. Sure we will pay it all back in tax dollars.

Agreed Greg. We are paying for it now. Government operates on tax dollars 24/7. Just like the stimulus check.  Already tax payer money.

I hope my gut/instincts/research are wrong, but this whole covid/vaccine situation stinks something terrible.

One of the interesting points in that show about the vaccine was that when the government offered money to Pfizer for the development of the vaccine they turned it down.

That`s an interesting and more than a little provocative statement. Care to elucidate?

Got my second shot today. Many reasons to get it, not many reasons not to. Keeps me safe and you.

Probably the fact that this virus has a outrageous survival rate. Also, why are they still requiring masks for people that have been vaccinated?

The "reason" masks (which studies have shown don't reduce transmission rates of respiratory viruses) are still required is because this isn't a true vaccine because it doesn't prevent you from acquiring the virus. The effectiveness is only that it lessens symptoms and reduces hospitalizations. You can also still transmit it to others, so the argument of getting the vaccine to protect the more vulnerable isn't valid. It only protects an individual, and may harm you.

No shots here. People were duped big time. Think for a moment here when OBAMA/BIDEN were in office we had the H1N1 virus no shots required, no mask, no shut downs people worked right through it. With Covid 19 statistics were manipulated big time. Hell your annual Flu shot is hit or miss every year. Good luck if you do get the experimental shots. :firefighter:
